Super unpopular opinion- I really don’t like legalizing prostitution because of the commodification of (mostly) female bodies. I think if it was a small scale with women having total control over being paid for what they decide on, it would be different. But, it’s not. For the most part, when prostitution is legal,

Every time I hear a Bernie supporter say they’ll stay home in November if he loses or WORSE would vote for Trump instead, I want to set my hair on fire. Or theirs. It depends on the kind of day I’m having.

Okay all this aside, did you honestly just recommend your own response? Have some dignity in your misogyny.

When Pt Arthur happened I was a babysitter for a seven year old. He had terrible nightmares about a man with a gun walking down their hallway. I was able to reassure him that it was OK, the government took all the guns away.

Everyone. Collectively. TAXES. Good lord.

Oh I totally agree, I chuckled too because Drake is black music for white people (hello, he was Jimmy on Degrassi!), but when you’re 15 shit like that matters so much more (even when I tell her how ridiculous it is and to laugh it off) but I try to remember that everything at that age is the end of the world. I do not

I think the phrase is actually “one fell swoop”

did you like how Chris Harrison was like, “well, Ben really liked you, so it means you are likeable/do have value” in an effort to comfort her? Yes, Ben liking Jubilee is the best thing she has going for her.

Yup. Years and years ago, I found out that one of my exes was going around telling people how “crazy” I was. The actual things he cited as proof that I was “crazy,” no joke:

The ones who suck my dick.

i’ve seen plenty of MRA rants saying that denying men sex is enough to make a man crazy enough to kill, that the real problem is that women don’t throw the occasional pity fuck to these wizard types et al.

He was my first real BF and I had terrible self esteem. He used to complain to me about how all the HOT women rejected him, because he was SO NICE. I can’t believe I wasted two years of my college life on that dude. I should have been making out with every twenty something dude in sight.

I’ve met more sociopaths on the job- and I’m talking about other police officers- than on the streets. I was an officer for 12 years and had to get out for my sanity. I feel for you.

You dislike her writing? :(

Dunno if you ever flirt with the dark side and visit horrible subreddits, but...there’s a common train of thought going around in MRA/PUA/redpill subreddits where apparently women are responsible for the self esteem of men, and it’s their fault that men are driven to rape and kill (because women don’t put out enough)

What is Canada face?

That’s okay. We women don’t know what it’s like to automatically be taken seriously, either.

Charles Bukowski was a very, very good author and poet. He was also a terrible, terrible human being whose statements probably shouldn’t be used to illustrate how much you love someone.

At a base level, most of those movies end in a woman successfully finding a man. I loved them all, and think there’s plenty of good in them, but the movies we’re seeing now break out of the typical fairytale mold far more.
